Scope
Global (i.e. this function can be called/accessed from code in any unit that includes/uses (SST)ShlWAPI.pas).

Syntax
	function SHRegGetPath(keyh : HKEY; pcszSubKey : LPCSTR; pszPath : LPSTR; dwFlags : DWORD) : LSTATUS;
	function SHRegGetPathA(keyh : HKEY; pcszSubKey : LPCSTR; pszPath : LPSTR; dwFlags : DWORD) : LSTATUS; function SHRegGetPathW(keyh : HKEY; pcszSubKey : LPCWSTR; pszPath : LPWSTR; dwFlags : DWORD) : LSTATUS;

Parameters
keyh [in]
pcszSubKey [in]
pszPath [out]
dwFlags	Reserved.

Return Values
Always returns 0.

Remarks
Contrary to the documentation, which states that the function is supported as of ShlWAPI.dll version 5.0 under all version 4 and later Windows OS (including the 9x series and NT 4.0), it is not exported by name prior to Windows 2000, and info. on an ordinal, by means of which the it can be accessed otherwise, seems not to have been provided. Furthermore, the function prototype is declared without any version requirement (i.e. no "#if () ... #endif"), which should normally mean that the function is supported as of ShlWAPI.dll version 4.71.
Remark 2.
